Fondy grad Smit named all-district

Cardinal Stritch University men's basketball guard and Fond du Lac High School grad Tony Smit is showing that he's just as good in the classroom as he's been on the court this year for No. 3 Stritch as he has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District Men's Basketball Team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

"We are very proud of Tony," head coach Drew Diener said. "He is very deserving of this honor. He has always taken a huge amount of pride in his academics and is a great representative of our program and school."

Smit, who is majoring in Accounting at Stritch, will now move into consideration for the Capital One Academic All-American men's basketball team.

This award has been done to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America® teams programs since 2011.

First-team Academic All-District ® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
